What these tire specs mean
Load index 91 means each tire can carry up to 615 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
Speed rating H is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 210 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
Winter tires use a softer compound that stays pliable in cold temperatures, where all-season rubber starts to harden. They carry the 3PMS symbol and meet Quebec’s winter tire mandate.
3PMS stands for Three Peak Mountain Snowflake — a symbol earned by meeting specific severe snow traction standards in testing. It is the mark Quebec requires for winter tire compliance.
Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
